Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Territorial Bancorp Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with Territorial Bancorp Inc.’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed as part of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made and include all normal recurring adjustments. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.

(2) Organization

On November 4, 2008, the Board of Directors of Territorial Mutual Holding Company (MHC) approved a plan of conversion and reorganization under which MHC would convert from a mutual holding company to a stock holding company. The conversion to a stock holding company was approved by the depositors and borrowers of Territorial Savings Bank and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) and included the filing of a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Upon the completion of the conversion and reorganization on July 10, 2009, Territorial Mutual Holding Company and Territorial Savings Group, Inc. ceased to exist as separate legal entities and Territorial Bancorp Inc. became the holding company for Territorial Savings Bank.

Upon completion of the conversion and reorganization, a special “liquidation account” was established in an amount equal to the total equity of Territorial Mutual Holding Company as of December 31, 2008. The liquidation account is to provide eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders who maintain their deposit accounts with Territorial Savings Bank after the conversion with a liquidation interest in the unlikely event of the complete liquidation of Territorial Savings Bank after the conversion. The balance of the liquidation account at December 31, 2014 was $15.2 million.

On June 25, 2014, Territorial Savings Bank converted from a federal savings bank to a Hawaii state-chartered savings bank. On July 10, 2014, Territorial Savings Bank became a member of the Federal Reserve System.

(3) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the Receivables topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The amendment clarifies when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs and when a mortgage loan should be derecognized and the related real property recognized. The amendment also requires disclosures about the amount of foreclosed residential real property held and the recorded investment in mortgage loans collateralized by residential real property in the process of foreclosure. The amendment was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company adopted this amendment on January 1, 2015, and the adoption did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In May 2014, the FASB amended the Revenue Recognition topic of the FASB ASC. The amendment seeks to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue as well as to develop common revenue standards for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB amended the Transfers and Servicing topic of the FASB ASC. The amendment modifies the accounting for certain types of repurchase transactions as well as adds new disclosure requirements for repurchase transactions. The amendment was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption prohibited. The Company adopted this amendment on January 1, 2015, and the adoption did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. See Footnote 8, Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase.

In August 2014, the FASB amended the Receivables topic of the FASB ASC. The amendment seeks to clarify the classification of foreclosed mortgage loans that are either fully or partially guaranteed under government programs, such as from the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The amendment was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company adopted this amendment on January 1, 2015, and the adoption did not have any effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB amended the Intangibles — Goodwill and Other topic of the FASB ASC. The amendment adds guidance to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid in cloud computing arrangements. The amendment is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Total	$	572,922	$	18,078	$	(4,290	)	$	586,710

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities at March 31, 2015 are shown below. Incorporated in the maturity schedule are mortgage-backed and trust preferred securities, which are allocated using the contractual maturity as a basis. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company received proceeds of $2.6 million from the sale of $2.3 million of held-to-maturity debt securities, resulting in gross realized gains of $236,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company received proceeds of $3.7 million from the sale of $3.4 million of held-to-maturity debt securities, resulting in gross realized gains of $316,000. The sale of these securities, for which the Company had already collected a substantial portion of the outstanding principal (at least 85%), is in accordance with the Investments - Debt and Equity Securities topic of the FASB ASC and will not affect the historical cost basis used to account for the remaining securities in the held-to-maturity portfolio.

Investment securities with amortized costs of $264.0 million and $270.2 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and transaction clearing accounts.

Provided below is a summary of investment securities which were in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The Company does not intend to sell these securities until such time as the value recovers or the securities mature and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities prior to recovery of value or the securities mature.

Description of Securities	Fair Value		Losses		Fair Value		Losses		Securities	Fair Value		Losses
(Dollars in thousands)
March 31, 2015:
Mortgage-backed securities	$	120,990	$	1,030	$	57,955	$	1,317	33	$	178,945	$	2,347

December 31, 2014:
Mortgage-backed securities	$	12,717	$	65	$	183,349	$	4,225	37	$	196,066	$	4,290

Mortgage-Backed Securities. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in mortgage-backed securities were caused by increases in market interest rates. All of the mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, which are U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, or Ginnie Mae, which is a U.S. government agency. Since the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and the Company does not intend to sell these investments until maturity and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such investments prior to recovery of its cost basis, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

In March 2015, the Company purchased a $1.2 million Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed security for settlement in April 2015. This security purchase was recorded on the trade date at the expected settlement amount.

Trust Preferred Securities. At March 31, 2015, the Company owns two trust preferred securities, PreTSL XXIII and XXIV. The trust preferred securities represent investments in a pool of debt obligations issued primarily by holding companies for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured financial institutions. Both of these securities are classified in the Company’s held-to-maturity investment portfolio.

The trust preferred securities market is considered to be inactive as only five transactions have occurred over the past 39 months in the same tranche of securities owned by the Company. The Company used a discounted cash flow model to determine whether these securities are

Table of Contents

other-than-temporarily impaired. The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow model include the following: estimated discount rates, estimated deferral and default rates on collateral, and estimated cash flows.

Based on the Company’s review, the Company’s investment in trust preferred securities did not incur additional impairment during the quarter ending March 31, 2015.

PreTSL XXIV has an amortized cost of $0 at March 31, 2015. PreTSL XXIII has an amortized cost of $741,000 at March 31, 2015. The difference between the amortized cost of $741,000 and the remaining cost basis of $1.1 million is reported as other comprehensive loss and is related to noncredit factors.

It is reasonably possible that the fair values of the trust preferred securities could decline in the near term if the overall economy and the financial condition of some of the issuers continue to deteriorate and the liquidity of these securities remains low. As a result, there is a risk that the Company’s remaining cost basis of $1.1 million on its trust preferred securities could be credit-related other-than-temporarily impaired in the near term. The impairment could be material to the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

The table below provides a cumulative roll forward of credit losses recognized in earnings for debt securities held and not intended to be sold:

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company increased the loan loss provisions for residential mortgage loans based on the growth of this segment of the loan portfolio and the concentration of loans in Hawaii. The Company also reduced the loan loss provisions on construction, commercial and other mortgage loans and consumer and other loans based on a continued limited loss experience. The allocation of a portion of the allowance from one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other loan categories.

Management considers the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2015 to be at an appropriate level to provide for probable losses that can be reasonably estimated based on general and specific conditions at that date. While the Company uses the best information it has available to make evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the information used in making the evaluations. To the extent actual outcomes differ from the estimates, additional provisions for credit losses may be required that would reduce future earnings. In addition, as an integral part of their examination process, the bank regulators and the Hawaii Department of Financial Institutions periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to increase the allowance based on their analysis of information available at the time of their examination.

The Company primarily uses the aging of loans and accrual status to monitor the credit quality of its loan portfolio. When a mortgage loan becomes seriously delinquent (90 days or more contractually past due), it displays weaknesses that may result in a loss. As a loan becomes more delinquent, the likelihood of the borrower repaying the loan decreases and the loan becomes more collateral-dependent. A mortgage loan becomes collateral-dependent when the proceeds for repayment can be expected to come only from the sale or operation of the collateral and not from borrower repayments. Generally, appraisals are obtained after a loan becomes collateral-dependent or is five months delinquent. The carrying value of collateral-dependent loans is adjusted to the fair value of the collateral less selling costs. Any commercial real estate, commercial, construction or equity loan that has a loan balance in excess of a specified amount is also periodically reviewed to determine whether the loan exhibits any weaknesses and is performing in accordance with its contractual terms.

The Company had 17 nonaccrual loans with a book value of $4.3 million at March 31, 2015 and 18 nonaccrual loans with a book value of $4.5 million as of December 31, 2014. The Company collected interest on nonaccrual loans of $50,000 and $52,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, but due to regulatory requirements, the Company recorded the interest as a reduction

of principal. The Company would have recognized additional interest income of $66,000 and $70,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, had the loans been accruing interest. The Company did not have any loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing interest as of March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

There were no loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring during the three months ended March 31, 2015 or 2014. There were no new troubled debt restructurings within the past 12 months that subsequently defaulted.

The Company had 17 troubled debt restructurings totaling $4.5 million as of March 31, 2015 that were considered to be impaired. This total included 16 one- to four-family residential mortgage loans totaling $4.4 million and one home equity loan for $132,000. Six of the loans, totaling $2.0 million, were performing in accordance with their restructured terms and accruing interest at March 31, 2015. Nine of the loans, totaling $2.2 million, were performing in accordance with their restructured terms but not accruing interest at March 31, 2015. Two of the loans, totaling $342,000, are delinquent and not accruing interest at March 31, 2015. The Company had 17 troubled debt restructurings totaling $4.6 million as of December 31, 2014 that were considered to be impaired.

Two of the loans, totaling $343,000, are delinquent and not accruing interest at December 31, 2014. Restructurings include deferrals of interest and/or principal payments and temporary or permanent reductions in interest rates due to the financial difficulties of the borrowers. We have no commitments to lend any additional funds to these borrowers.

The Company had no real estate owned as of March 31, 2015 and 2014. There were three one- to four-family residential mortgage loans totaling $691,000 in process of foreclosure as of March 31, 2015, and three one- to four-family residential mortgage loans totaling $1.0 million in process of foreclosure as of March 31, 2014.

Nearly all of our real estate loans are collateralized by real estate located in the State of Hawaii. Loan-to-value ratios on these real estate loans generally do not exceed 80% at the time of origination.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company sold $13.3 million and $9.9 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held for sale and recognized gains of $129,000 and $79,000, respectively. The Company had nine loans held for sale totaling $2.9 million at March 31, 2015 and six loans held for sale totaling $1.0 million at December 31, 2014.

The Company serviced loans for others of $59.0 million at March 31, 2015 and $60.5 million at December 31, 2014. Of these amounts, $2.9 million and $3.0 million relate to securitizations for which the Company continues to hold the related mortgage-backed securities at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The amount of contractually specified servicing fees earned for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $41,000 and $47,000, respectively. The fees are reported in service fees on loan and deposit accounts in the consolidated statements of income.

Table of Contents

Below is a summary comparing the carrying value and fair value of securities pledged to secure repurchase agreements, the repurchase liability, and the amount at risk at March 31, 2015. The amount at risk is the greater of the carrying value or fair value over the repurchase liability. All the agreements to repurchase are with JP Morgan Securities and the securities pledged are mortgage-backed securities issued and guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. The repurchase liability cannot exceed 90% of the fair value of securities pledged. In the event of a decline in the fair value of securities pledged to less than the required amount due to market conditions or principal repayments, the Company is obligated to pledge additional securities or other suitable collateral to cure the deficiency.

(10) Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (Pension Plan) that covers most employees with at least one year of service. Effective December 31, 2008, under approved changes to the Pension Plan, there were no further accruals of benefits for any participants and benefits will not increase with any additional years of service. Net periodic benefit cost, subsequent to December 31, 2008, has not been significant and is not disclosed in the table below.

The Company also sponsors a Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP), a noncontributory supplemental retirement benefit plan, which covers certain current and former employees of the Company for amounts in addition to those provided under the Pension Plan.

(11) Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Effective January 1, 2009, Territorial Savings Bank adopted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for eligible employees. The ESOP borrowed $9.8 million from the Company and used those funds to acquire 978,650 shares, or 8%, of the total number of shares issued by the Company in its initial public offering. The shares were acquired at a price of $10.00 per share.

The loan is secured by the shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP over the 20-year term of the loan with funds from Territorial Savings Bank’s contributions to the ESOP and dividends payable on the shares. The interest rate on the ESOP loan is an adjustable rate equal to the prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal. The interest rate adjusts annually and will be the prime rate on the first business day of the calendar year.

Shares purchased by the ESOP are held by a trustee in an unallocated suspense account, and shares are released annually from the suspense account on a pro-rata basis as principal and interest payments are made by the ESOP to the Company. The trustee allocates the shares released among participants on the basis of each participant’s proportional share of compensation relative to all participants. As shares are committed to be released from the suspense account, Territorial Savings Bank reports compensation expense based on the average fair value of shares released with a corresponding credit to stockholders’ equity. The shares committed to be released are considered outstanding for earnings per share computations. Compensation expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to $222,000 and $240,000, respectively.

Shares held by the ESOP trust were as follows:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2015		2014
Allocated shares	295,614		283,381
Unearned shares	672,824		685,057
Total ESOP shares	968,438		968,438
Fair value of unearned shares, in thousands	$	15,986	$	14,763

Table of Contents

The ESOP restoration plan is a nonqualified plan that provides supplemental benefits to certain executives who are prevented from receiving the full benefits contemplated by the employee stock ownership plan’s benefit formula. The supplemental cash payments consist of payments representing shares that cannot be allocated to the participants under the ESOP due to IRS limitations imposed on tax-qualified plans. We accrue for these benefits over the period during which employees provide services to earn these benefits. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we accrued $64,000 and $74,000, respectively, for the ESOP restoration plan.

(12) Share-Based Compensation

On August 19, 2010, Territorial Bancorp Inc. adopted the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, which provides for awards of stock options and restricted stock to key officers and outside directors. In accordance with the Compensation — Stock Compensation topic of the FASB ASC, the cost of the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan is based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock is based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using assumptions for dividend yield, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and option term. These assumptions are based on our judgments regarding future events, are subjective in nature, and cannot be determined with precision. The cost of the awards is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the five- or six-year vesting period during which participants are required to provide services in exchange for the awards.

The Company recognized compensation expense, measured as the fair value of the share-based award on the date of grant, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Share-based compensation is recorded in the statement of income as a component of salaries and employee benefits with a corresponding increase in shareholders’ equity. The table below presents information on compensation expense and the related tax benefit for all share-based awards:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2015		2014
Compensation expense	$	660	$	660
Income tax benefit	265		313

Shares of our common stock issued under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan shall be authorized but unissued shares. The maximum number of shares that will be awarded under the plan will be 1,712,637 shares.

(15) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the FASB ASC, the Company groups its financial assets and liabilities at fair value into three levels based on the markets in which the financial assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value as follows:

Table of Contents

· Level 1 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.

· Level 2 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

· Level 3 — Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect management’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of discounted cash flow models and similar techniques that require the use of significant judgment or estimation.

In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic, the Company bases its fair values on the price that it would expect to receive if an asset were sold or the price that it would expect to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Also as required, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements.

The Company uses fair value measurements to determine fair value disclosures. Investment securities held for sale and derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. From time to time, the Company may be required to record other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, impaired loans and investments, and mortgage servicing assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of the lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accrued Interest Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, Investment Purchases Pending Settlement, Current Income Taxes Payable, and Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Investment Securities. The estimated fair values of U.S. government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities are considered Level 2 inputs because the valuation for investment securities utilized pricing models that varied based on asset class and included trade, bid and other observable market information.

The trust preferred securities represent investments in a pool of debt obligations issued primarily by holding companies for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured financial institutions. The trust preferred securities market is considered to be inactive as only five transactions have occurred over the past 39 months in the same tranche of securities we own and no new issues of pooled trust preferred securities have occurred since 2007. The fair value of our trust preferred securities was determined using a discounted cash flow model. Our model used a discount rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 20.00% and provided a fair value estimate of $20.93 per $100 of par value for PreTSL XXIII.

The discounted cash flow analysis included a review of all issuers within the pool. The fair value of the trust preferred securities are classified as Level 3 inputs because they are based on discounted cash flow models.

FHLB Stock. FHLB stock, which is redeemable for cash at par value, is reported at its par value.

FRB Stock. FRB stock, which is redeemable for cash at par value, is reported at its par value.

Table of Contents

Loans. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The fair value of loans is not based on the concept of exit price.

Loans Held for Sale. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined based on the prices quoted in the secondary market for similar loans.

Deposits. The fair value of checking and Super NOW savings accounts, passbook accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities.

Advances From the FHLB and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase. Fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the rates currently offered to the Company for debt with similar remaining maturities.

Interest Rate Contracts. The Company may enter into interest rate lock commitments with borrowers on loans intended to be sold. To manage interest rate risk on the lock commitments, the Company may also enter into forward loan sale commitments. The interest rate lock commitments and forward loan sale commitments are treated as derivatives and are recorded at their fair value determined by referring to prices quoted in the secondary market for similar contracts. Interest rate contracts that are classified as assets are included with prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet while interest rate contracts that are classified as liabilities are included with accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The fair value of impaired loans that are considered to be collateral dependent is determined using the value of collateral less estimated selling costs. The fair value of impaired loans not considered to be collateral dependent is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. Assumptions used in the analysis include the discount rate and projected cash flows. Changes in the measurement of impaired loans are included in the provision for loan losses in the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of trust preferred securities is determined using a discounted cash flow model. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model are discussed above. Gains and losses on trust preferred securities that are credit related are included in net other-than-temporary impairment losses in the consolidated statements of income. Gains and losses on trust preferred securities that are not credit related are included in other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Mortgage servicing assets are valued using a discounted cash flow model. Assumptions used in the model include mortgage prepayment speeds, discount rates and cost of servicing. Losses on

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014

Assets. At March 31, 2015, our assets were $1.715 billion, an increase of $23.5 million, or 1.4%, from $1.692 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase in assets was primarily the result of a $72.6 million increase in total loans that was partially offset by a $29.3 million decrease in cash and a $20.5 million decrease in investment securities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $45.8 million at March 31, 2015, a decrease of $29.3 million since December 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the $29.3 million of cash, along with a $21.8 million increase in deposits and $20.5 million of repayments on investment securities, was used to fund a $72.6 million increase in total loans, repurchase $4.3 million of common stock and pay $1.5 million of common stock dividends.

Loans. Total loans, including $2.9 million of loans held for sale, were $1.042 billion at March 31, 2015, or 60.7% of total assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the loan portfolio increased by $72.6 million, or 7.5%. The increase in the loan portfolio primarily occurred as the production of new one- to four-family residential loans exceeded principal repayments and loan sales.

Securities. At March 31, 2015, our securities portfolio totaled $552.5 million, or 32.2% of total assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the securities portfolio decreased by $20.5 million, or 3.6%. The decrease in the securities portfolio occurred as repayments and the amount of securities sold exceeded the amount of securities purchased.

At March 31, 2015, all of such securities were classified as held-to-maturity and none of the underlying collateral consisted of subprime or Alt-A (traditionally defined as nonconforming loans having less than full documentation) loans.

At March 31, 2015, we owned trust preferred securities with an amortized cost of $741,000. This portfolio consists of two securities, which represent investments in a pool of debt obligations primarily issued by holding companies of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured financial institutions.

The trust preferred securities market is considered to be inactive as only five transactions have occurred over the past 39 months in the same tranche of securities that we own and no new issues of pooled trust preferred securities have occurred since 2007. We used a discounted cash flow model to determine whether these securities are other-than-temporarily impaired. The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow model include the following: estimated discount rates, estimated deferral and default rates on collateral, and estimated cash flows. We used a discount rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 20.00% and provided a fair value estimate of $20.93 per $100 of par value for PreTSL XXIII.

Based on the Company’s review, the Company’s investment in trust preferred securities did not incur additional impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Table of Contents

Deposits. Deposits were $1.381 billion at March 31, 2015, an increase of $21.8 million, or 1.6%, since December 31, 2014. The growth in deposits occurred primarily in savings accounts, which increased by $18.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Borrowings. Our borrowings consist of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle and funds borrowed under securities sold under agreements to repurchase. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, total borrowing remained constant at $87.0 million as Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle advances rose by $12.0 million while securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased by $12.0 million. We have not required any other borrowings to fund our operations. Instead, we have primarily funded our operations with additional deposits, proceeds from loan and security sales and principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities.

Average Balances and Yields

The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and rates, and certain other information at and for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of net deferred costs, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

General. Net income increased by $64,000, or 1.8%, from $3.46 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $3.53 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in net income was primarily due to a $631,000 increase in interest and dividend income. This was partially offset by a $214,000 increase in income taxes, a $185,000 increase in the provision for loan losses, a

Table of Contents

$112,000 decrease in noninterest income, a $40,000 increase in noninterest expense and a $16,000 increase in interest expense.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $615,000, or 4.7%, to $13.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $13.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Interest and dividend income increased by $631,000, or 4.3%, due primarily to a $73.7 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets. Interest expense increased by $16,000, or 1.1%, due to a $58.8 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities that was partially offset by a one basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The interest rate spread and net interest margin were 3.30% and 3.36%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased by $631,000, or 4.3%, to $15.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Interest income on loans increased by $1.1 million, or 12.0%, to $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $9.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in interest income on loans occurred because the average balance of loans grew by $137.0 million, or 15.9%, as new loan originations exceeded loan repayments and loan sales. The increase in interest income that occurred because of growth in the loan portfolio was partially offset by a 15 basis point decline in the average loan yield to 4.27% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decline in the average yield on loans occurred because of repayments on higher-yielding loans and additions of new loans with lower yields to the loan portfolio. Interest income on investment securities decreased by $551,000, or 10.9%, to $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in interest income on securities occurred because of a $54.2 million decrease in the average securities balance and a seven basis point decrease in the average securities yield.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $16,000, or 1.1% from $1.50 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $1.52 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Interest expense on deposits increased by $43,000, or 3.9%, from $1.09 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $1.13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The average outstanding balance of deposits increased by $57.4 million, or 4.5%, to $1.326 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $1.268 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The average interest rate on deposits remained constant at 0.34% during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Interest expense on FHLB advances increased by $4,000, or 6.1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to a $3.5 million, or 23.1%, increase in the average balance of FHLB advances. This was partially offset by a 24 basis point decrease in the average interest rate to 1.52% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 1.76% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Interest expense on securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased by $31,000, or 9.0%, during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in interest expense was caused by a $2.1 million, or 2.9%, decrease in the average outstanding balance of securities sold under agreements to repurchase. The decrease in the average balance was augmented by a 13 basis point decrease in the interest rate to 1.78% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from 1.91% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded provisions for loan losses of $194,000 and $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The provisions for loan losses included net charge-offs of $13,000 and $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014,

Table of Contents

respectively. The provisions recorded resulted in ratios of the allowance for loan losses to total loans of 0.18% and 0.17% at March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Nonaccrual loans totaled $4.3 million at March 31, 2015, or 0.41% of total loans at that date, compared to $5.1 million of nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2014, or 0.58% of total loans at that date. Nonaccrual loans as of March 31, 2015 and 2014 consisted primarily of one- to four-family residential real estate loans. To the best of our knowledge, we have provided for all losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at March 31, 2015 and 2014. For additional information see footnote (6), “Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Noninterest Income. The following table summarizes changes in noninterest income between the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Other	166		166		—			—%
Total	$	1,246	$	1,358	$	(112	)	(8.2)%

Noninterest income decreased by $112,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we sold $2.3 million of held-to-maturity investment securities and recognized a gain of $236,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we sold $8.4 million of held-to-maturity and trading investment securities and recognized a gain of $346,000. The sale of held-to-maturity securities, for which the Company had already received a substantial portion of the outstanding principal (at least 85%), is in accordance with the Investments - Debt and Equity Securities topic of the FASB ASC and will not affect the historical cost basis used to account for the remaining securities in the held-to-maturity portfolio.

Noninterest Expense. The following table summarizes changes in noninterest expense between the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Change
	2015		2014		$ Change			% Change
	(Dollars in thousands)

Salaries and employee benefits	$	5,099	$	5,363	$	(264	)	(4.9)%

Other general and administrative expenses	1,214		966		248			25.7%
Total	$	8,904	$	8,864	$	40		0.5%

Noninterest expense rose by $40,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. Other general and administrative expenses increased by $248,000 to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $966,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase was due to higher audit service and other professional fees, advertising expenses and other loan expenses. Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased by $264,000 to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company recognized a $474,000 increase in the credit to compensation expense

Table of Contents

for the cost of originating new mortgage loans because of an increase in new loan originations. The Receivables topic of the FASB ASC allows financial institutions to take a credit against compensation expense for the direct cost of originating loans. This was partially offset by a bank-wide budgeted salary increase of approximately 2.0%, which was effective July 1, 2014, and higher bonuses and commissions that occurred primarily because of the increase in new loan originations.

Income Tax Expense. Income taxes were $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, reflecting an effective tax rate of 40.4%, compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, reflecting an effective tax rate of 38.6%. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a decrease in permanent tax benefits related to our share-based compensation plans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations. Territorial Savings Bank’s primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank, loan repayments, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, proceeds from loan and security sales and principal repayments on securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We have established an Asset/Liability Management Committee, consisting of our President and Chief Executive Officer, our Vice Chairman and Co-Chief Operating Officer, our Senior Vice President and Treasurer and our Vice President and Controller, which is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We believe that we have enough sources of liquidity to satisfy our short- and long-term liquidity needs as of March 31, 2015.

We regularly monitor and adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of:

(i) expected loan demand;

(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities;

(iii) expected deposit flows and borrowing maturities;

(iv) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and

(v) the objectives of our asset/liability management program.

Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits or securities and may also be used to pay off short-term borrowings.

Our most liquid asset is cash. The amount of this asset is dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2015, Territorial Savings Bank’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $45.8 million. On that date, we had $60.0 million in securities sold under agreements to repurchase outstanding and $27.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding, with the ability to borrow an additional $396.0 million under Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Our cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

At March 31, 2015, we had $45.0 million in loan commitments outstanding, most of which were for fixed-rate loans, and had $25.4 million in unused lines of credit to borrowers. Certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2015 totaled $177.6 million, or 12.9% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we may be required to seek other sources of funds, including loan sales, brokered deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before March 31, 2016. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

Our primary investing activities are originating loans and purchasing mortgage-backed securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we originated $120.3 million and $45.2 million of loans, respectively, and purchased $2.4 million and $27.9 million of securities, respectively.

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, stock repurchases and dividend payments. We experienced net increases in deposits of $21.8 million and $28.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors, and by other factors.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle, which provide an additional source of funds. Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased by $12.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $27.0 million and remained constant at $15.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014. We had the ability to borrow up to an additional $396.0 million and $389.2 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We also utilize securities sold under agreements to repurchase as another borrowing source. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased by $12.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $60.0 million and remained constant at $72.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Territorial Savings Bank and the Company are subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. On July 10, 2014, Territorial Savings Bank became a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve requires that Territorial Savings Bank maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio of 9.0% for the next three years as a condition of membership. Effective January 1, 2015, the well capitalized threshold for Tier 1 risk-based capital requirement was increased from 6.0% to 8.0% and a new capital standard, common equity tier 1 risk-based capital, was implemented with a 6.5% ratio requirement for a financial institution to be considered well capitalized. Additionally, effective January 1, 2015, consolidated regulatory capital requirements identical to those applicable to the subsidiary depository institutions became applicable to savings and loan holding companies over $1.0 billion in assets, such as the Company. At March 31, 2015, Territorial Savings Bank and the Company exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and are considered to be “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. The tables below present the capital required to be considered “well-capitalized” as a percentage of total and risk-weighted assets and the percentage and the total amount of capital maintained for both Territorial Savings Bank and the Company at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 for Territorial Savings Bank:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Commitments. As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our potential future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. In addition, we enter into

Table of Contents

commitments to sell mortgage loans.

Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities and agreements with respect to investments. Except for an increase of $1.4 million in certificates of deposit and an increase of $26.9 million in loan commitments between December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, there have not been any material changes in contractual obligations and funding needs since December 31, 2014.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

General. Our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a principal part of our operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Our Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee, which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors.

Because we have historically operated as a traditional thrift institution, the significant majority of our assets consist of long-term, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, which we have funded primarily with checking and savings accounts and short-term borrowings. In addition, there is little demand for adjustable-rate mortgage loans in the Hawaii market area. This has resulted in our being particularly vulnerable to increases in interest rates, as our interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than our interest-earning assets.

Our policies do not permit hedging activities, such as engaging in futures, options or swap transactions, or investing in high-risk mortgage derivatives, such as collateralized mortgage obligation residual interests, real estate mortgage investment conduit residual interests or stripped mortgage-backed securities.

Economic Value of Equity. We use an interest rate sensitivity analysis that computes changes in the economic value of equity (EVE) of our cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. EVE represents the market value of portfolio equity and is equal to the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities, with adjustments made for off-balance sheet items. This analysis assesses the risk of loss in market-risk-sensitive instruments in the event of an instantaneous and sustained 100 to 400 basis point increase or a 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates with no effect given to any steps that we might take to counter the effect of that interest rate movement. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the “Change in Interest Rates” column below. Given the current relatively low level of market interest rates, an EVE calculation for an interest rate decrease of greater than 100 basis points has not been prepared.

The following table presents our internal calculations of the estimated changes in our EVE as of December 31, 2014 that would result from the designated instantaneous changes in the interest rate yield curve.

Table of Contents

Change in Interest Rates (bp) (1)	Estimated EVE (2)		Estimated Increase (Decrease) in EVE			Percentage Change in EVE	EVE Ratio as a Percent of Present Value of Assets (3)(4)	Increase (Decrease) in EVE Ratio as a Percent of Present Value of Assets (3)(4)

(1) Assumes an instantaneous uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.

(2) EVE is the difference between the present value of an institution’s assets and liabilities.

(3) Present value of assets represents the discounted present value of incoming cash flows on interest-earning assets.

(4) EVE Ratio represents EVE divided by the present value of assets.

Interest rates on mortgage-backed securities declined by approximately 20 basis points between December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015. The decrease in interest rates has likely increased our EVE. However, we do not believe that the increase in EVE is material.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in determining interest rate risk through changes in EVE. Modeling changes in EVE requires making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the EVE table presented assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the EVE table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our EVE and net interest income and will differ from actual results.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2015. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President and Treasurer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
